The
Evil in Pemberley House, an addition to
Philip José Farmers Wold Newton cycle, plays with
the Gothic horror tradition. Patricia Wildman, the
daughter of the world-renowned adventurer and
crimefighter of the 1930s and 40s, Dr. James Clarke
Doc Wildman, is all alone in the world when
she inherits the family estate in Derbyshire,
Englandold, dark, and supposedly haunted.

But
Farmer, characteristically, turns convention on its ear.
Is the ghost real, or a clever sham? In Patricia Wildman,
Farmer creates an introspective character who struggles
to reconcile the supernatural with her rational
scientific upbringing, while also attempting to work
through unresolved feelings about her late parents. He
sets the action at Pemberley from Jane Austens Pride
and Prejudice and ingrains the various
mysteries in the Canon of the Sherlock Holmes stories.

The
Evil in Pemberley House, by Philip José
Farmer and Win Scott Eckert, is a darkly erotic novel
with broad appeal to readers of pulp and popular
literature, particularly followers of Doc Savage,
Sherlockians, and fans of Farmers own celebrated
Wold Newton Family.
